xsport - Very pretty, though the blue is slightly overwhelming (your opinion too?). The bottom shot, it might have been even better if you used some sort of fill flash there.. It's losing a lot of detail as is (the outline is OK, but the eagle has so much nice detail, why not show it?).
The top shot, I luv the colors but I feel it's a bit chopped off at the bottom. Perhaps you cropped out some distracting stuff (it looks like that here). I like the tree but wonder if it's a strong enuf subject to play that role. If only there were more interesting city lights in the bottom left part. Or perhaps a moon in the top left.
Hmmm yes the top shot the bottom feels a bit thin.
But I do really like the blue. Some people might be overpowered by blue but it's probably my favorite color (especially if you get a nice water-sky play like this). There must dozens of different shades of blue (a little brown-red buffer of sun too) in that first shot and they have a nice gradual fade at that hour. I like it.
Ya know I always forget about fill flash and I was trying to edit the eagle picture so i could get detail under the wing but then I was sacrificing the nice sky and background.
On the top picture to the left of that is NYC but there are just way too many trees. Its either take a picture of the city or what I did. Sorry if the blue is too much. Whatever I can use to boost the color I'll do it. This was a little extra blue in the color balance, saturation, contrast, and underexposure. I tend to like underexposing my pictures just because it brings out the color more.
